Concept explainers
Classify each statement as sensible or silly, and briefly explain your answer.
(a) I flipped a coin five times in a row and got heads, so I’m willing to bet $100 that it will be tails on the next flip.
(b) There’s a 30% chance of rain tomorrow and there’s a 50–50 chance of my only class getting cancelled, so there’s a 35% chance I’ll be able to go golfing without missing class. (By the way, I’m not going to go golfing if it rains.)
(c) According to duilawblog.com, the probability of being convicted when charged with DUI in California is 0.794. If 50% of those convicted get at least 48 hours in jail, the probability of spending at least 48 hours in jail if charged with DUI in California is 1.294.
(d) If I buy one ticket to a multistate lottery, I have a better chance of being struck by lightning than I do of winning the grand prize.

- 9. (a) Use pseudocode to describe an algo- rithm for determining the value of a game tree when both players follow a minmax strategy. (b) Suppose that T₁ and T2 are spanning trees of a simple graph G. Moreover, suppose that ₁ is an edge in T₁ that is not in T2. Show that there is an edge 2 in T2 that is not in T₁ such that T₁ remains a spanning tree if ₁ is removed from it and 2 is added to it, and T2 remains a spanning tree if 2 is removed from it and e₁ is added to it. (c) Show that a degree-constrained spanning tree of a simple graph in which each vertex has degree not exceeding 2 2 consists of a single Hamiltonian path in the graph.arrow_forwardChatgpt give wrong answer No chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward@when ever one Point sets in x are closed a collection of functions which separates Points from closed set will separates Point. 18 (prod) is product topological space then VaeA (xx, Tx) is homeomorphic to sul space of the Product space (Txa, prod).
